Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to wish Peter Kay, Sr. a happy 90th birthday.

I would like to send my delayed birthday greetings to Peter on his 90th. Peter is a father, a grandfather, a great-grandfather, and also, I believe, a great-great-grandfather. Peter has lived a traditional way of life in Fort McPherson and the Mackenzie Delta area all of his life, and he has

raised a very large family. Today, Peter Kay has been a role model to all of the people in the Mackenzie Delta, the Beaufort Sea, and also in the Yukon.

Peter has made the lives better for the people in our communities just by his presence, but, more importantly, by sharing his wisdom, his culture, and also his traditional way of life. Peter is renowned that he does have a very active lifestyle by his dancing, jigging, and you can always see Peter at all the major dances, and also functions, that happen in all the communities where he makes an effort to go to Tuktoyaktuk, Inuvik, Aklavik, Tsiigehtchic, and the other communities just to perform at these dances.

I think, with Peter's presence in our communities and being 90 years young, that he has definitely touched everyone in our communities. I would also like to wish the family of Peter Kay all the best and, knowing Peter, he will have many years to come. The family and the friends of Peter will be celebrating his birthday in Inuvik on Friday at the Ingamo Hall. At this time, I would like to wish Peter all the best, and also in many years to come.

In closing, Mr. Speaker, I would like to also take this time to wish giguu Margaret Vittrekwa, who is also celebrating a birthday today, a happy birthday, and wish her all the best for many years to come. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
